Dripping off my helmet brim
Down upon a saturated cloak
A combination of sweat and soak
Its voice taps out upon thin steel
Its message a soothing signal
A code to be understood then
By the unsettled in the maylay
Silencing a cacophony of chaos
In a world impure and exhausted
Where relief is but in simplicity
Dust - choking becomes abated
Maleficent microbes wash away
The blemishes of humanity fade
Dissolved by the cleansing rains
Only the returning sun and silence
Affirm earth's drenching renewal
There, standing amid falling drops
An act of purification, redemption
A brief interlude with immortality
Moments clear in the cleansing rain
